1 ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS * * Adapted from March 2004 NJ DOE presentation by Peggy Freedson-Gonzalez
2 NJ DEMOGRAPHICS As of 2001, NJ ranked 7 th in % of limited- English-speaking residents 42% increase from 1990 Currently 249,000 K-12 students statewide have a home language other than English 57,000 have limited proficiency in English
3 NJ DEMOGRAPHICS 166 languages spoken by limited English speaking students statewide including Spanish Portuguese Mandarin Hindi Urdu Japanese Arabic Russian Polish Albanian Hungarian Gujarati Haitian Creole Korean Vietnamese Hmong
4 NJ 2003 Literacy Achievement 22% of NJ 4 th graders tested partially proficient in language arts literacy 42% of 4 th graders in high poverty districts scored a partially proficient 69% of limited English speaking children scored partially proficient
5 The Achievement Gap Children who speak a non-english language at home and children of Hispanic/Latino backgrounds are at significantly greater risk of reading difficulties and subsequent academic underachievement.
6 What We Know from Research High quality language and literacy environments help children develop skills that most strongly predict later literacy achievement: Vocabulary/Listening Comprehension Extended discourse Phonological Awareness Print concepts (forms & functions) Letter identification
7 What We Know from Research A solid foundation in English oral fluency is highly desirable prior to formal English literacy instruction for children who are not learning to read in their first language (Snow et al., 1998). A strong basis in the child s first language promotes literacy achievement in the second language.
8 Language as a Foundation for Learning to Read Excellent literacy instruction in multilingual settings may be possible only if children s home languages are taken into account in designing instruction. National Reading Council, 1998 Oral and written language experiences should be regarded as an additive process, ensuring that children maintain their home language while also learning to speak and read in English. International Reading Association, 1998
9 Why Home Language Development? All children are cognitively, linguistically and emotionally connected to the language of their home. Children are more likely to become readers and writers of English when they are already familiar with the vocabulary and concepts in their primary language. Experiences with their own language allow children to develop phonemic awareness and other oral language skills which predict later reading success. Many early literacy and other cognitive skills transfer from one language to another. Students literate in their first language will apply these skills to the second language.
10 Bilingual Learners Children acquire language within a variety of cultural and linguistic settings and in the context of their homes and communities.
11 Bilingual Development Bilingual children: Exhibit the same language milestones as monolingual children May acquire vocabulary at a slower rate and have more limited total vocabularies in each language Have a combined vocabulary in both languages likely to equal or exceed that of the English-only child
12 Language Development Children develop language as a function of: 1. Amount of Input = number and variety of words spoken to a child 2. Opportunities to use language to interact with other children and adults
13 Learning a Second Language Developmental Sequence * Use their home language Nonverbal period Use individual words and phrases in new language and some children code switch Begin to develop productive use of the second language * Tabors, P.O. (1997). One Child, Two Languages
14 Home Language Support Provide a portion of instruction & interact with children in home language. Incorporate children s home languages into the daily classroom activities through song, poetry, dances, rhymes, counting, & books. Create materials in the children s home language to represent familiar stories, songs or poems. Make efforts to learn the students home languages. Even a few words or phrases will communicate respect and value. Use bilingual paraprofessionals, family & older student volunteers. Provide books and other printed materials in home languages. Use Environmental Print in both languages. Encourage children and families to share & record stories in L1. Provide computer programs that support home languages. Encourage parents to converse and read with their children using their own strongest language.
15 Remember. Teacher expectations significantly influence the quality of student learning opportunities. Teachers who have low expectations for students do not feel confident they can teach those students, and as a result attribute students failure to lack of intellect and deficient home lives. Teachers with strong self-confidence and feelings of efficacy in their teaching abilities have high expectations for all students.
